The Film: Guest House Paradiso (1999)

The Show: Bottom, the work of Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall, who clearly had so much fun making The Young Ones that they couldn’t bear to stop the insane antics.

The show ran for three series and launched a series of successful live versions, featuring loathsome flatmates Richie and Eddie.

Where it went wrong: They told us time and again that Guest House Paradiso wasn’t a “Bottom movie”. But with the characters so obviously the same and the humour precisely as lowbrow, no one was fooled.

Few people were amused either – Paradiso is crap, an unfunny torrent of vomit gags, foreigner gags and sex gags.

Why Vincent Cassel ever agreed to co-star is anyone’s guess. Maybe he was a fan? Needed some pocket money?

We said: “Rik and Ade fans lament: Guest House Paradiso is proof that the one-time Dangerous Brothers, the stars of Comic Strip and the best thing in The Young Ones, have finally, completely lost it.”
